apologies to Vettriano, Hassall and the people of Skegness

Boris Johnson – Maybe It’s Because I’m a Blunderer
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008
Is it because Boris Johnson is such an amiable chap that I feel tempted to vote for him in the election for London Mayor ? – Nope.
Is it because he may declare an amnesty for anyone caught smashing up a restaurant if they’re wearing a dickie bow and have the wherewithal to provide hush money to pay the shocked proprietor ? – Nope.
Is it because the Conservative Campaign Newsletter AKA The London’s Evening Standard and Andrew (contemporaneous) Gilligan charge me 50 pence to tell me I should ? – Nope
Maybe it’s because he’d be an endless provider of hilarious material for the guys (and ladies) at the PCO and myself ? – Maybe.
Maybe I should start a campaign……
Update – I see that Bremner Bird and Fortune had put together a ‘blunderer’ video some time ago.

Surprising that The Independent has done a PR job for Coca Cola in Monday’s Media Section – Here.
There is one very obvious gap in The Independent’s chronology which can, in part be filled by going here.
The Independent had an awful lot of help from Coke in putting its piece together but I managed to do it all on my own!
I do link to other more knowledgeable people though.
